Trailblazer420 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I decided to take one of my c99 clones and experiment with store bought Colloidal silver. The required ppm seems to be a debatable topic, ranging from 18ppm to 100ppm. For the purpose of this experiment I will be using Biosil 20ppm. Let's see how it goes.

Trailblazer420 Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 Could those be sacks? I think they're tiny little sacks. Still in vegging mode, extended the veg spraying by a week due to a few days that I had to leave town...

PsyCLown Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Nice, been quite a while though.I can't see any balls on my plants yet, using STS. Hopefully something by this weekend.Have you stopped spraying and waiting for growth now?

Bluntly Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) Cool. So just a few stupid questions here. You doing this to get feminised seeds right? Is the colloidal silver forcing the plant to grow pollen, or is it stressing the plant to where it changes to an hermaphrodite? Will the seeds be totally feminised, or will there be chances of them being hermaphrodites? Sorry for all the questions, just trying to get my head around this.

Yes this is for feminized seeds, the CS is absorbed through the foikage which causes the flowering. It is not due to stress, so your risk of hermies is directly related to your growing environment and will not be due to the CS Sent from my CLT-L29 using Tapatalk 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It stops the production of Ethylene which from what I recall and this causes the plant to produce male parts and pollen. If you have a plant which hermies, the seeds are more likely to hermie as well. With STS or CS, since the pollen is not created due to stress, the chance of higher hermies from seeds is heavily reduced. @Trailblazer420 very nice! Mine are not showing balls yet, how long until the balls have ripened and drop pollen? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplepete Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 nice man, where can you find colloidal silver locally? is it like a normal store bought thing. Have researched seeding, but have not looked around yet for product 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the highest ppm he could find.The alternative to CS is STS, but it can be a bit expensive. I'm giving it a try at the moment.

PsyCLown Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 13 minutes ago, purplepete said: Whats STS full name? I will have a look at dishchem though next time I am near STS is Silver Thiosulphate Solution. It s a mixture of Silver Nitrate and Sodium Thiosulfate. The Silver Nitrate is expensive, over R500 for 25g. However it lasts long as you use 0.5g to make a 500ml solution which is then further diluted to form the STS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
